Baby

January 17, 2017

Whenever I make baby cards I make a boy version and a girl version. It's good to have both on hand! As mentioned yesterday, I made baby cards with my leftovers from my April calendar page. The bunny in this set lends itself well for this Occasion. Here is the boy version I made over the weekend at the crafting session:

It just goes to show that you can used your holiday stamps for other occasions. If you have the chance to go away or participate in a crafting session with other crafters I highly recommend it. I think it does us all good to something creative. It puts us in touch with our inner child and we can come out to play and have fun! I feel very renewed.

Thanks for stopping by today! I have more to share this week from my crafting weekend so stay tuned.

I spent the weekend on a crafting weekend with some other crafty ladies here in Austin. It was so much fun! It has been awhile since I spent the entire weekend being creative. It did me a lot of good. Diana, the organizer, rented a space called The Stitching Studio. We all brought our own stuff to work on and then when we were ready to call it quits for the night we could leave our stuff out, go home and sleep in our own bed, and come back the next day. This worked out so well! Some people were working on scrapbooks, some were working on quilting, some on cards, and some on kits. We all brought snacks and took turns bringing lunch. I could go on and on. Suffice it to say I had a great time with all of these ladies!

One of the main projects I worked on over the weekend was decorating a perpetual calendar. Stampin' Up! provided a kit for one last year. Most of the pages looked the same and were kind of boring in my opinion. I wanted to make a unique page for each month and that's what I did with my stamps, inks, and embellishments. I plan on offering as a club for my customers this year.

The stamp set I used for April was Basket Bunch. I actually used the bundle with the framelits. I stamped and die cut a bunch of bunnies, eggs, and carrots ahead of time. I wasn't sure which ones I would use on the page so I made up several. With the leftovers I created a couple of baby cards with the bunnies. Here is the baby girl version I made over the weekend:

All supplies can be ordered on my website here. And the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies are finally off of backorder! You better order them while you can. These flew off the shelf when they were first introduced in November. They exceeded all expectations. I am loving mine!

Hi! It's been way too long hasn't it? My e-commerce business has been keeping me very busy and I'm having a garage sale this week. Garage sales consume me the week I'm doing them. You too? I ask myself every time why I do them but it really gets me to go through and weed through my stuff.

But enough of that. On to my card. I went to a baby shower for one of my neighbors last weekend. I sat down to make her a card, of course. Baby cards are so much fun! I sat down and made a pile of different ones since I was making some anyways. Now I have a stash of boy and girl baby cards. Always nice to have on hand!

Isn't it cute? I used a combination of retired and current product. The designer paper and the alphabet embossing folder are retired. The rest is current product. The elephant and the greeting is from the Zoo Babies stamp set.

I'll be moving on to Halloween projects next. I have already decorated my house for Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays to decorate for! I love the colors, the whimsy, and the fun! My kids love it too.
